Swiss museum publishes list of Gurlitt works

November 27, 2014

BERLIN – The Swiss museum that inherited a trove of long-hidden art from late German collector Cornelius Gurlitt has published a preliminary list of his collection on Thursday.

Switzerland’s Kunstmuseum Bern accepted the bequest Monday, while promising to work with German authorities to make sure any items looted by the Nazis are returned to their rightful heirs. The museum said that “in the interest of transparency” it has placed a list on its website that will be updated as more information about the works is confirmed.
